    Because of the complexity of the crisis, no one agency has all the authorities and reach required to meaningfully address all the issues, including appropriate prescribing, prevention and treatment, transitions into and out of the criminal justice system, social determinants of health, including housing insecurities, coexisting mental illness, and the unique issues facing our veterans, minority populations, rural populations, and those in the Indian country. At the federal level, we meet weekly in the so-called opioids cabinet, chaired personally by Kellyanne Conway, with lead representatives from all departments, in addition to multiple other interactions and joint programs.
